Question 955547: 3. A man is 24_31/ older than his son. In two years, the man's age will be twice the age of his son. What will be the present age of his son? Answer by macston(5194) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! M=man's age ; S=son's age
M=S+(24_31/)
M+2=2(S+2) Substitute for M
S+(24_31/)+2=2(S+2)
S+(24_31/)+2=2S+2 Subtract S from each side.
(24_31/)+2=S+2 Subtract 2 from each side.
(24_31/)=S ANSWER: The son's age is (24_31/).
